On Windows 10, every time you connect to a Wi-Fi network a profile for that particular network with its SSID (Service Set Identifier), network security key, and other information will be created. In the future, if you want to connect, you simply select the wireless network, and Windows 10 will do the rest automatically.

The only caveat is that Windows 10 will save a profile of every network even if you no longer plan to use that particular connection. However, you can quickly delete (or forget) a wireless network in a number of ways.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to forget a Wi-Fi network on Windows 10 using the Settings app, Taskbar, and Command Prompt.
